Reproductive health ignorance in disasters: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundReproductive health (RH) is a critical human right that requires safeguarding in all contexts, including during disaster situations. Nevertheless, RH services frequently face neglect in disasters. In view of the issue's importance and the notable gap in scientific documentation, this research was conducted to examine the underlying factors that lead to the neglect of RH in post-disaster settings in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsA qualitative study was conducted using the method of content analysis, by performing in-depth semi-structured interviews in 2021-2022. Interviews were continued until the point of data saturation. The selection of participants involved a purposive sampling approach, drawing from various stakeholders, including recipients and providers of RH services, key health system and risk management officials, faculty members, relief personnel, and non-governmental organization members. The study's setting encompassed the health system, disaster risk management organization, and the Kermanshah earthquake-affected areas. To ensure the reliability and robustness of the data, Lincoln and Goba criteria were used, and Granheim and Lundman methods were further utilized for their analysis.
resultsData saturation was achieved after conducting 23 interviews. The findings of this study identified several key factors contributing to the neglect of RH in post-disaster scenarios: 1) RH: A neglected priority, irrespective of critical conditions; 2) the decline of RH in the shadow of multiple needs; and 3) lack of attention to the differences in women's needs.
conclusionThe health system should prioritize RH in both normal and disaster situations. This requires promoting awareness among the general population and experts. It is recommended to develop comprehensive education programs, covering topics related to RH. Advocacy for RSH rights is recommended. Post-disaster needs and access to RH services should be prioritized in planning and resource allocation. Education on gender differences and vulnerabilities is important for officials and responders involved in risk management and post-disaster efforts.
